Chris in Calgary

I had a hot water tank that was leaking. I called Ace after having gotten a bunch of postcards in the mail. The staff did not show up on time, calling 10 min before the appointment because they had a emergency ahead of me. Then two days later Greg showed up, he was friendly and knowledgeable but oh my gosh the prices he quoted were terrible. $400 more than what I thought was fair. So I simply paid the call out fee of $80 and said goodbye. Ace is really expensive. Nice looking marketing stuff, but prices are too high.

I had a Dell Vostro Laptop that would not start up that had all my pictures and resumes on it. I brought it over to Rocky Mountain Computer Repair where Jonathan was able to take a look at it the same day. I was really impressed; Jon knew his stuff and was personable and honest. I wanted a new computer but couldn't afford the $900 for the water proof indestructible laptops they sold, so Jon looked online with me and suggested I go over to Wal-Mart and get this Acer they had there for $289.99. I brought it back and he transferred all the stuff of the Dead Dell and on to my new laptop. He even did some stuff to speed it up; he explained on the cheap laptops they put all these free trials and junk on it that slow them down. I was really pleased. When I buy my next laptop and have more cash I am coming back to Rocky Mountain. The $900 laptop was pretty insane, the $1300 even better and what I'm most interested in is that it is a 3 year warranty from the manufacturer + free support from Rocky Mountain too.

Calgary Skylights installed a tubular skylight in our upstairs hallway. It really added a lot of light to the upstairs. I was very impressed by how Steve took the time to explain all my options and the difference between the skylights home depot sells, and the ones they use on their own store (installed by Calgary Skylights!) the typical stuff in the big box stores is not designed for winter cold climates, but for mid western USA. His skylights are insulated, never leak, and come with a 20 year warranty. Whats more the company has been around over 15 years and stands behind their work.

I had a leaking toilet that kept getting worse and worse. I was recommended by a friend to call Hairy at Price-Rite. Wow was I glad I did. He was there say day, and got the job done for a very reasonable price. Harry is an interesting guy and a very good plumber. I would recommend his company Price to all my friends.
